Anyone see the Top Gear clips last night? So anyway they were talking about jeremy clarkson's crappy "cool" wall which i personally don't understand.
So they came to a TVR Tamora and Clarkson put it in the "uncool" section, stating that TVR's were for ageing men that wore their trousers higher like up to their nipples or something.

I don't know what's happened to Clarkson recently, perhaps he's gone a bit power mad but isn't that a bit rich from him saying that TVR's are for ageing men when he swapped his Ferrari 355 for a mercedes SL55 AMG?

Yes, but the opinion comes from a man who defines cool as wearing a double-breasted suit jacket with jeans and curly hair!

The sad thing is Clarkson is no longer in the cool category himself, so relax, he knows nothing and is in danger of descending into self-parody...

Personally I don't care. I enjoy driving my Chimaera and if that means I'm not cool the so be it. Enjoyment over style IMHO !

How to make a living with zero talent by talking crap to the gullable perhaps, seems to work for them.

Its fair to say JC is to cool as Michael Schumacher is to good sportsmanship!

After all this is the man that said something along the lines of the Ford Probe could "snap knicker elastic at 50 paces"

Whereas infact I think a more appropriate quote may have been "dull as dish water!"

Come on. JC loves TVRs. And has said so on many an occasion. I hope he continues to poke fun at ALL the marques for a great many years providing me with some gentle amusement of an evening.

Don't for a moment take it seriously....
